    Good deal at Walmart today.

    Well I was at walmart with my wife today doing a little shopping. She was editing photos over in the photocenter so I pushed my son in his stroller over to the paintball department. Well I have been in the market for a new thermal lens for my Flex 7. I have found them online for about 20+ shipped new and 40 bucks in town. Well I saw that they had 3 camo Jt Elite Alpha Camo masks. I looked them over for a second since they were 39 bucks and I had stimulus money to spend. In the back of the rack covered in dust I found a camo Flex 8 witch I've wanted for awhile. It has a thermal lens standard so it took care of my problem. Then I remembered that even online Flex 8s are like 60+ dollars. Well I didn't see a sticker on the rack with the price. Just the price for the Jt elites. I flipped the mask over to take a look at the upc. A lazy walmart emplyee that aparently doesn't pay attention just slapped a old wrinkled jt elite upc on the outside over the flex 8. So I of course picked up the camo flex 8 for 39.97 NIB :) Thanks WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!

          They need to hire more astute (sp?) employees. It has been there for awhile I just noticed the price error today.

            Wal-Mart is awesome for finding mismarked merchandise. The people they have working those pricing guns are just this side of comatose.

              I work at the walmart in Lenoir, North Carolina.
              I turn the paint reguarly (and the paint is actually decent if its not yrs old) and price the paint and guns.
              I offer advise on what gun to get and where to play.
              I carefully check them out and say "Thank you for shopping at Walmart!"
              When they show up at the field I show them the ropes, tune their gun and tell them never to spend another dime than you have to.
              And then I get them to buy a mag.

              Thats what I do at walmart.

                    You should be working at a local paintball store.

                    When I see parents with their kids buying paintball equipment at Wal Mart I did the same thing, except I point them to my friends store up the road a bit because I know he'll take care of them and they'll get a better deal.

                      Unless the comatose folks have figured out a way to use a keyboard, I'm going to have to say the answer's pretty obvious.

                      tech-chan, that's cool though. I've found a couple spectacularly helpful employees who actually know their departments, but they're few and far between.
